Possessing Nothing

“Lee Sung-min! ”

Theos smiles brightly. Behind his back were weary paladins and survivors from Kim Jong-hyun.

Physical wounds were healed by Teresa and the adults, but only mental fatigue from repeated fights remained.

“You're really, really... amazing. ”

Theos truly said that. Demon King Kim Jong-hyun. I've heard the name, but I've never seen him before or fought him in person before.

You break through the zombie army and confront the Desknight army. If the Desknights hadn't retreated on the way, the paladins and the crowd would have suffered tremendous damage.

I barely made it through them. Kim Jong-hyun suddenly encountered...... a person who really had the power to suit the Demon King.

His magic was more primal, word-appropriate violence than magic.

But in the end, they overcame. I don't know what happened, but the Demon Lord Kim Jong-hyun is gone.

But I do know this. Even if I wasn't sure, it was the noble people who fought against the Demon King until the end.

“You're a hero! ”

Theos shouted as he approached Lee Sung-min. And everyone empathized with it.

If it weren't for Lee Sung-min, everyone would be dead. Except for Lee, no one here can stop Kim Jong-hyun.

Even Teresa's divine power did not defeat Kim Jong-hyun. Even the paladins and the crowds who were constantly healing their wounds from the sacred power of Teresa and the Divine Catholic Church and replenished their physical strength failed to defeat the Demon King Kim Jong-hyun.

Only Seong-min doesn't need the help of paladins and priests. You defeated the commander of Desknight's army with your bare hands.

It would be a triumph to be a hero. I was defeated by Lee Sung-min to the Demon King Kim Jong-hyun.

“Lee Sung-min? ”

He approached Lee Sung-min who was standing still. Theos felt a slight tingling sensation.

Unknown, such anxiety was tickling the skin. Something's not right.

Theos did not ignore his instinctive feeling of hypocrisy. He paused and looked back at Lee.

Wake up, wake up...

The words in my head were noisy and annoying noises that meant nothing to him.

The flexibility born to Lee Sung-min was a rational person, but not a rational person. The personality, mindset, and all that Lee Sung-min had were all gone.

Lee Sung-min who is here now was a completely different monster, not him.

What happened was so cautious of Heju and Seolmin.

No matter how much Heju and Seong-min believe in themselves. As long as the magic of inversion has overturned the species itself, isomers become non-human beings.

“Seong-min...? ”

In the beginning, the consciousness of Lee Sung-min sank very deep.

If he had been a complete monster, his consciousness as a human would have been completely exterminated.

But not exterminated. The consciousness as a human has fallen into a deep, unconscious, deep sleep.

It was only possible because he held his own consciousness to the end. And it was because Heju desperately took care to prevent the consciousness of the rational people from fading away.

‘This……. ’

Theos shakes his eyes. Lee Sung-min's face is slowly coming down, looking up at the sky.

The sequence of movements seemed to be cut off in Theos' eyes.

My instincts were endlessly warning me. Stay back. Don't stand there.

Run away...... The cold sweat flows through your armor. Why? Reason continues to question the warnings of instinct.

Lee Sung-min is not dangerous.

Three perceptions are the disciples of philanthropy. Mine. Earrings. Even though he was treated like this, Theos was not such a bad person.

At least everyone here was saved by the rational people.

But why? Are you feeling more threatened now... than when you encountered the Demon King Kim Jong-hyun?

Soon, Theos understood.

A little time later. When Lee Sung-min's head came down completely, he saw Theos.

when a pair of golden eyes turned to Theos, who could not have thought it was human.

Theos did not feel the slightest human emotion in it.

All the teeth between the slightly opened lips are sharp. It was a form suitable for chewing and biting.

“Ah……. ”

Theos' face turned white. I want to run away. Theos quickly holds up his sword in his hand.

At the moment of raising the sword, the sword splits into two cavity cavities. It was not a spear that Lee Sung-min swinged. The long, sharply stretched nails cut the knife like a tofu.

Phew!

Blood gushed from Theos' chest.

I only swung my fingernails, but I cut myself deep into my breastplate, not to mention my knife.

Seeing the blood gushing from the gap, Teresa and the synagogues' faces turned white.

“Te, Theos?! ”

Fellow paladins shout in panic. Theos looks pale and backs away.

Fortunately, the fatal wound was avoided. At that moment, following a warning from instinct, a few steps back saved Theos' life.

“Mo, everyone run! ”

I don't know why, but the earring is going crazy.

But it is faster for a rational person to move than that. He swings his right hand, without swinging his spear.

With a light swing, the purple force surges like a storm. Theos hurries back as he exhales blood.

Other paladins have also succeeded in blowing themselves up thanks to Theos' warning.

But not the crowd. The few remaining masses have disappeared into blood due to the storm of force caused by Lee Ying-min.

“Ahhhh!”

A shout like scraping iron burst out of Lee Sung-min's mouth.

Heju kept shouting. Stay with me.

I thought I'd never become a monster.

That's a long way to go.

No, I don't.

‘No. ’

I'm listening.

Deep in consciousness, Lee Sung-min opened his eyes. He rises slowly.

Where am I? Lee Seong-min sighed and looked around.

Oh, yeah. At that moment, he understood where this place was. I've been to this place before.

So...... in a group of adults. When I first woke up as a monster. When Yoseong dominates the consciousness of the rational people, and the original rational people are submerged deep unconscious.

Lee Sung-min was here.

‘But that's not the case. ’

I thought he was dazed. At that time, I met Heju unconsciously. I also saw a roaring urethra.

But I can't see anything now. Only the darkness is spread. Things are different from back then. Lee Sung-min has become a complete monster.

What the hell happened? ’

I just don't get it. Why is the seal suddenly broken? Why did I suddenly become a monster? Where did Jonghyun Kim go?

“The Black Wizard. ”

Lee Sung-min stopped walking in the dark.

“Before I was banished from space-time, I left you a very interesting gift. Reverse magic... Hehe. The spell that turned him into the Demon King came to you. You've become a monster, not a Demon King. ”

This voice.

It was not a voice of carelessness.

“You're lucky, at least. I didn't kill Toughness because I was desperately unconscious. That's not a good look for you. You'll be wandering around unconsciously. ”

“Who are you…? ”

Lee Sung-min asked with a dazed voice.

Hahaha.

The void laughter echoes deep in the darkness. Lee Seong-min swallowed his breath and headed towards you. Every time I walk, I see the cut scenes...... in the dark.

It was a scene that everyone knew.

Remembered in his unconscious mind, he's lived through all this time. Impressive scenes.

It was a mixture of all the scenes of previous life and current life.

When I was first summoned to Genevis. It is a memory of a previous life, not a present life.

The memory of being summoned to Genevis without knowing anything. When I was really 14. When I knew nothing, I understood it forcefully...... and I had to do something to survive.

I learned the cheap method of unconsciousness. I thought a spear that pokes deep in the distance would be less dangerous than fighting from a close distance. I took advice that spears are good for beginners to get used to.

I lived like that.

As mercenaries.

Corona Mercenary Class C Mercenary. I admired Xeon. He came from the same Northclass and pierced the walls of the cliffs. Even though it was ridiculous to Lee Sung-min until now, he was at the top of the world even if he was the best in the world that Lee Sung-min saw at the time.

Admiring. Thinking that's how I want to be. Hardly any effort to do so.

He died like that. He didn't live long enough.

“Doesn't it bother you?"

His voice smiled and said. Lee Seong-min kept walking. It was not long before I heard his voice.

But as he went on, he saw other scenes. If only those scenes that were rated "trivial," had been previously killed while living as Class C mercenaries. What Lee was looking at was his life, which is not yet over.

I met Wijihoen pretending to be a coincidence. I learned from her and targeted her.

He served on Mt. Mesh and served as a mercenary in Genevis. Meet Prescan and get the Black Heart.

“That's the important part. ”

Your voice is giggling.

After that, I went to Shaolin. Practiced in Shaolin, volcanoed, killed the Sword, met Denir. Then I went to the sleeping forest and met Heju and Rubia.

“This place is important too. ”

I reunited with Saxony and Wijihoen in the dungeon. You head north, meet Jennifer and the Berserkers, and kill the Bloodthirsty Horse.

I went to South Harbor and reunited with Wiji Hoenn. I met the tetrarch. I fought the Amzon. Further south to lift the curse. He killed the remnants of the fallout in Deven.

“Even here.”

I met Jana, Frau and Envirus in the group. You broke up with the miners. You have the strength of the group.

“It's very important. ”

More, further south. Killing the Swordsman and the Authority... over and over again. Lee saw a video of himself living.

I saw the death of the tetrarch again. Of course I wasn't in a good mood. In a scene where Osla decides to eat a sarcastic corpse and helps. The owner of the voice clapped his hands with a joyful smile.

He didn't say anything, but Lee Sung-min knew that scene was also ‘important.’

What does it matter?

I killed Volander and fought Kim Jong-hyun. Lee Sung-min understood why he became a monster.

He saw all the scenes from the perspective of a third party, and just before Kim Jong-hyun was caught in the light and disappeared, he stretched his finger towards himself.

“…… Where did Jonghyun Kim go? ”

“Abel scraped together the rest of his life to work Gries' magic. A spell that banishes a target from space-time forever. Kim Jong-hyun was unable to enter Eria again. Past, present, future. Kim Jong-hyun disappeared all the time in Eria. ”

“Then…… Abel…? ”

“Dead. Perhaps he died satisfied. Kim Jong-hyun, who was about to be banished, did not expect this trick. ”

The owner of the voice smiled and said.

“No matter how much you want to be human, you can't help it. Inversion magic is absolute. It's great to have some personality left. ”

“I... what's going on? ”

“You will wander this subconscious forever. Unless any variables intervene. No matter how violent you are, it is impossible to penetrate your own subconscious. You're already a complete monster. ”

“I don't understand. ”

Lee Sung-min muttered in a small voice.

“The monsters I saw, most of them, remained rational. Rather than being human in some way.... ”

“Whoa, whoa. That's too soon. You can't say you know much about monsters. There's only two monsters who can communicate with you properly. Heju and Jana. Both of them are top monsters. And, hahaha! They were more human than humans? That's what I call arrogance. What do you know of the Vagina? What do you know about Jana? Do you think that what they show you is all they see? ”

He smiles and gazes in a cheerful tone, as if he meant it.

“They had too much favor for you. That's why I've been so good to you. If he was as greedy and naive as he appeared to you sometimes, would he have been called a southern nightmare 400 years ago? Do you think they would have stepped up to the dragon and joined forces to subdue the Liquor? ”

No, Heju was not a good monster. Only a few of the anecdotes directly heard from Heju were true.

He used to boast about killing dragons just because he flew through the forest sky as his domain.

“What Yana has shown you is a courtesy and sympathy for the haze within you. Would you think Yana would be so sweet if you were just a human being? ”

No. Jana tried to subdue Lee Sung-min and turn him into a complete monster.

“More human than human? What is it about being human? What do you mean," freaky "? Hahaha... There's very little difference between good and evil in monsters. The most absolute foundation for determining his behavior in a monster is his own desire. It's like a man devoted to desire is being treated as a beast. ”

Lee stopped walking. In front of him was someone sitting with their back turned.

“I know what you're curious about. You don't have the right to be a monster. I just want to kill and eat everything I see. All I know is the evil, the evil shouting. Because I have no idea, the movement is simple and I don't know how to use the power I have. ”

Why is that?

“The reason is simple. There is no reason for you to be a monster. You turned into a monster, a mere vessel. I'm filling that vacancy. ”

“…… what are you……? ”

Lee Sung-min asked it with a trembling voice.

Hahaha. Once again, the man laughs.

He slowly turned around and looked at reason. He didn't have eyes and nose. A blank, white face with only a mouth left, smiling.

“Me?”

The man raises his hand and points to himself.

“I'm a carnage. ”

Haha, haha. Hahahaha.

In the horror of Lee Sung-min, the carnage ceremony burst into laughter.
